Elbow
AS ONE OF THE MOST OVERUSED JOINTS IN THE BODY, THE ELBOW IS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO INJURY.
At Rockwall Regenerative Medicine, our goal is to accurately diagnose your injury and offer alternative treatment options that have the potential to relieve your pain and deliver lasting results.
ELBOW PAIN: COMMON SYMPTOMS WE TREAT
Elbow pain can take many forms, depending on its underlying cause. Injuries or conditions affecting the elbow may lead to:
-
Pain on the inner or outer side of the elbow
-
Increased discomfort towards the end of the day
-
Warmth or inflammation around the joint
-
Swelling or tenderness
-
Reduced flexibility or range of motion
As with other joints in the body, the elbow joint can be affected by a range of diseases and injuries, leading to pain, swelling, and various other discomforts. Some of the most common causes we see include:
ELBOW PAIN: COMMON CONDITIONS
Elbow Pain – Damage to bones, tendons, or ligaments in the elbow can cause pain and limit movement.
Bursitis – Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac in the elbow, leads to pain and swelling, often from repetitive motions or injury.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) – Repetitive forearm use causes tendon inflammation and microtears in the outer elbow, resulting in pain, commonly in activities like tennis or typing.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) – This condition, caused by repeated forearm muscle contractions, leads to pain and inflammation on the inner elbow, similar to tennis elbow.
Elbow Instability – Weak ligaments or structural damage can cause the elbow to slide out of alignment, leading to instability and pain.
Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of cartilage in the elbow joint over time can result in pain, stiffness, and swelling, especially during activity.
Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament (LUCL) Injuries – Damage to the Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament (LUCL) can cause instability or weakness in the elbow joint.
Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injuries – Injuries to the Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) can result in pain and decreased function, particularly for athletes involved in overhead motions.
